The market trend can turn around very quickly. In fact, the indexes often switch from a bear market to a bull market when the news is at its worst and the mood of investors is at its lowest point. I read an article of people that grossed profits up to $150k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist?

I came across your channel through this video—case studies are incredibly valuable, and I'm eager to see more in the future! Building wealth involves establishing routines, like consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for smart investments.

I want to invest $400k in profit-yielding dividend shares but am not sure which to buy into because dividend-paying stocks don't give rapid price growth and can provide a steady income stream.

AI stocks are set to dominate 2024. I prefer NVIDIA because they're well-positioned for long-term growth and support other AI companies. I know someone who made over 200% with NVIDIA. I'll also consider the other recommendations you made.

Well explained. Thanks for bringing up the video. Financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject...

I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises of plummeting stocks which were once revered and i don't know where to go here out of devastation

Joseph, thanks for your continued dedication to educating your viewers... I always learn something valuable and put more money in my pocket. Cheers

LOL - "You haven't know the 'Bliss' of managing your own real estate properties..." Thanks, Joe, I really enjoy your content.

Not as much to get excited about, however, quite useful, appreciated and timely.
Thank you kindly.

Hey Joe, great informative videos. Is it just easier and safer just to put your money in the S&P?Also have you heard of these yieldmax funds like nvdy paying these ridiculous amount of monthly dividends?

[samcohen]

Love your channel. I’d be careful how you describe REITs here. If Beta is 0.9-1.0, a lot of that downside protection you described will not be there. And this is from someone who has been buying REITs hand over fist in 2024.

PFFD id down 20% in the past 5 years. I just wonder how is it good. I have limited knowledge in investing, particularly how bonds are beneficial

[DBCooperMOTIVATES]

Is Akoustis Technologies (AKTS) the next Nvidia ?!

[goldl]

Can you please explain the idea of Inverse Equity ETFs in your next video and maybe recommend a few? thanks!

[Olvera_emi]

I think you should disclose your sponsors/ads in the video

The market's direction can swiftly change, with indexes frequently transitioning from a bear market to a bull market precisely when the news is most negative and investor sentiment reaches its lowest point.

Trying to determine how much saftey i should incorporate into my profile at 30.

There will be no place to hide like 2008. Banking collapse could be imminent but for different reasons this time around. Credit card debt defaults will be the trigger. Then folks will be forced to default on their mortgages as well because they wont be able to charge any more. 401K and IRA rules might have to be changed in order to stop it. But that means people selling stocks to liquidate for cash.
